It’s hard to find a reason to go on living once you find out the pointlessness of being. Of course, one could still go on enjoying the blue skies, the gentle breeze, the refreshing rain, the colorful flowers but then again, the futility of it all eventually comes around. You just want to scream it [...]

The paintings in the cave
Kantakhaala was a small village on the sea. It was 15 kms away from Gopalpur, the nearest town. It had never been in news, not many people were even aware of its existence, but the quiet life of the illiterate villagers was turned upside down when some city folks said their village was of archaeological [...]

‘… and he made me see what an asshole I was. He smashed my head on the ground and a moment later I heard the crunching of my bones as they crushed to smithereens on the hard dirty surface. I tasted the blood oozing out from my splintered lips and felt the broken teeth by [...]

The unwanted visits
Strange things have been happening. I could swear that there’s someone else present in the house. I find things out of place sometimes, wet towels, unwashed dishes, strewn papers… inexplicably open cupboards and misplaced books. Why only the other day when I was having a bath, I heard a voice from the bedroom. I turned [...]

19th May, ‘08 - 0530 hours - I slept fitfully last night. GBS, Ms. T and BP are still sleeping. The journey’s drawing to a close. I wish the train wouldn’t stop… the stations would just fly by and the train would go on for ever. It’d get boring after a little while though. I [...]

Bullet in the brain
Sitting on the desolation row,
I looked at the captain’s tower.
Pound and Eliot were not seen,
perhaps gone home having got tired.
The poisonous words were still floating around,
the lover boy done in by them.
Cinderella was sweeping the shining floor
shedding a tear at the pumpkin rotten.
The forces were out there lying in wait,
keeping a tight watch over the bait.
For they [...]

Cooked in the kitchen
‘… and a pinch of red hot chilli peppers. That should provide the sting. It looks like a Queen’s meal now. I wonder if the Prince is going to like it. He’s been in Fool’s Garden ever since Frankie went to Hollywood. Before that, he used to visit Linkin Park.
The cold play and the cheesy radiohead [...]
